I stuck my key in the ignition a couple of days ago and it worked fine. As soon as I attempted to turn it over.. EVERYTHING died on me. My window is down at the moment and this needs fixed ASAP. I've already replaced my corroded battery cable and checked all of the fuses. I'm assuming it's either the cable to the alternator or one of the relays. Can someone give me a hand?

If nothing is working at all, and you are 100% sure the battery is charged and the connections are clean and tight, check the 8 gauge wire that goes from the battery positive terminal to the fusebox behind the battery. That is the wire that feeds everything but the starter. Check the main fuse inside that box as well.

Main fuse is good and there's power to the fuse box. I got the seats to move and the lights to pop up ( I've NO IDEA how I even did that, to be perfectly honest) but as soon as I did that, I turned the key to "On" so I could put my window up and everything died again. I proceeded to check all of the fuses and battery cables and everything seemed to be working properly. I'm gonna check the ignition tomorrow (later today if it doesn't rain). Any other suggestions?

Are you sure the battery is charged. Everything you are describing is a symptom of a weak battery.

If the battery and its wires are good, the wire feeding the fuse box (check it again) is good and all your grounds are good, you are going to have to start checking wires and connectors with a meter or test light until you find something.
